Who digs 'em?

You?

Yup
That's why I started this thread.

"break up your band" has a great video, but overall i'm not a fan

I'll watch it tomorrow in my offpeak time, in a land where I have no bandwidth limit.

ride the fader is a great album.

anybody remember when they played the video on beavis and butthead? "uh, this video has everything; if you like lions, there's lions on it, if you like naked dudes, there's naked dudes on it; if you like bands that suck, you have it on it"

love them.

Haha yeah that was one weird video. And I just found out that they have been back together for a year now...

Should be good though, I couldn't find their albums anywhere so I got them off Soulseek, but perhaps now they will reissue them separately (not in a 2cd set).

i bet you can find second hand copies on amazon or ebay for next to nothing

the only one i've heard is ride the fader.

it's great!

if ever i describe them to someone (which is no one) I say that they're a bit like Foo Fighters but actually good. They do some really interesting things i think and have some really, really great tunes - though they occasionally sound a little simular to themselves which makes it harder for the great songs to stand out from the other one that also using that same thing but isn't quite as good.

foo fighters?!

yeah, I think so, just the way the vocals are done and some of the kind of melodies. But then I think this of many of Lou Barlow's songs. Maybe the Foo Fighters are like the musical equivelent of chicken to me. Though I do like chicken a lot.

Are they Spaniards that wear Burberry and drink White Lightening Cider?

I'm sure I could but Australian eBay has nothing and Amazon does not take my kinda card or PayPal :(
Yes! Everytime I hear Lou sing I can't help thinking of how much he sounds like Dave Grohl. Chavez don't sound much like the Foo Fighters though, perhaps the Foo's on their rocking self titled album (which rocks hard).
